Battle.net server problems

Internet-based online gaming and digital distribution company Battle.net was launched back in 1996, it was then they released Blizzard’s RPG game Diablo. But since then many more games have been added to the list, and of course because of the popularity with some of the games the servers do take a beating now and then. This can lead to Battle.net servers going down for unknown reasons as well as for maintenance updates.

Battle.net now has popular games on its servers such as World of Warcraft (WoW), Starcraft 2, Heroes of the Storm, Hearthstone and many more. When these games cannot be accessed online this is when gamers take to social media networks as well as forums and communities to vent their anger.

We here at Is It Down Right Now are here to let you know when Battle.net is down, and of course the community can also use the comments area below to let us know when they are having problems with Battle.net or any of its games.

I am getting kicked out of WoW and D3 often, but when I search the status page there seems to be no problems at all. Is anyone having battle.net problems at the moment?

Royce

I have been able to play my games with no problems at all, Battle.net is running smooth as silk at this given time. Le’ts hope I can have another 2 weeks of continuous play without any server down time.

Owen

Battlenet matchmaking is a pile of trash for me, when i log into my Battlenet account for some reason it asks me to upgrade to play. They really need to get it right.

Sam

Battle Net client is not working and i cannot login, this is seriously becoming a pain in the brain. Please let me know if there any known issues because i cannot find any official updates.

Blizzard has just reported that are addressing an issue with Hearthstone, and games may not be accessible.

Sebastian

I cannot connect, even to any Blizzard page. If it is related to Blizzard then its offline i think.

Nickie

So, the the US Realm Thrall is down and being investigated. This was like 8 hours ago it was reported on Blizzards Twitter account, so do we really know what went wrong then?

Doreen

It is so slow for me today, am i the only one this is happening too?

Lisa

My Hearthstone is down and not able to get back in to play online.

Billy

Battle Net is not working, something wrong with servers i think.

Sandy

I have just looked over at BlizzardsCS Twitter and they are aware there is an issues with Battle Net, it seems to be mainly the app so logout and then try again.

Darren

Since the Battle . Net maintenance between 8am and 12 pm PDT there seems to be trouble getting online.

Jamie

Battle Net website is totally down, even Blizzard have no idea what is causing the problem, do you?

Marcus

People have taken to Twitter to ask BlizzardCS questions, one said that they could look into HTTP status code 418.

Noel

What does this mean “game client version mismatch with selected region”? This popped up when i tried to play Starcraft 2 – and before anyone asks i have the right region.

Kalib

Overwatch gets released and things go a little mental trying to stay online with other games.

Maxxie

I start to win in Overwatch and then i get lost connection to server message pop up – frustrated much.

Irwin

Battle Net servers are having issues due to Overwatch disconnects.

Tobyios

There is an Overwatch and WoW maintenance right now. So Battlenet servers will be down for a while.

Phil

There are bad problems with Battlenet at the moment, seems to be mainly login errors and failed slow logins.

Chelsea

There are many issues with Battlenet login right now, but maybe i will let it slip if they sort of clear the last game of HotS from my account.

Marcus

I am getting mad with battle net servers, and whats more whats the point of having the @ PlayOverwatch Twitter account if they never answer anything. All they ever say is that is not staffed at all times. Why have it then?

Kelvin

Surely hackers have got to Battle Net servers!!!!!! They are still having issues affecting its authentication servers, which means login problems are occurring.

Josh

If you wish to earn a new card in Hearthstone you have to reach rank 20 before the end of June.

Pauline

I tried to install Overwatch but keep getting a patch error, no idea what to do next.

Kyle

BattleNet is down in Greenwich, cannot access no online gameplay or websites.

Jamie

I was sitting here wondering why I could not get to play Hearthstone, but now i know why. It is down to battle net being down and out.

Cathy Hoyns

Yep Texas here. Can’t get on. Can’t even get onto the forums.

David J Morse

ct down… says i am in queque, resets and does it again over and over and over…

David J Morse

Ive tried that 6 times now

James

Is anyone else having issues logging into their Blizzard account?

Casey

By turning of my broadband security made a difference when trying to login to my account, once logged in turn the security back on and hey presto all running again. Darn you Windows Defender.

SuperBeautifulNoise

It is down right now. This is a good reason for Diablo 3 to have an offline mode. Just got into the game in 3-4 years and I am in the 5th act on my way to deal will one bad lady. This game isn’t big enough to justify the lack of offline play!

Marcel

Battle Net servers are the worst, the option for paypal credit is not working for me.
